It's fascinating to see Twitch's expansion, from Justin.tv (cc ) into a gaming-focused livestreaming (almost) unicorn (). While gaming is massive (and growing), expansion into arts and other categories in the future makes a lot of sense. h/t for this find from her .
Maybe I'm just not a regular twitch users, but I can't find a "Creative" section anywhere in the web experience? No mention from the home, game or channel sections and even the directory only shows game content. How did you even find that url?

it was written about on TechCrunch. I'm assuming they're rolling it out slowly as not to introduce something drastically different to their core community.
fantastic pivoting ! It makes simpler to young influencers to create empathy with their first followers through common passions !

What category do you think will be next. Cooking and coding seem like good contenders. I'd love to see a dance channel, .
Agreed. "Watch People Cook" has to be a massive vertical.
I wrote 15,000 words in a novel yesterday and I'm pretty sure I would love to review parts of it as a recording, to see how my flow developed through the 10-hour session. All I know is at times I must have been in a flow state of some degree. How I got there, who knows? :)
It's not exactly the same, but I sometimes setup a low fps screen recorder when I'm coding to see what I've done. I've found some major mistakes before they turned into bugs with this.
Hadn't considered, thanks!
This is a clear product answer for a repeating use case of craftsmen/artists streaming while creating. Awesome 🔥
Seems weird. Why shut down Justin.tv in the first place if you're eventually going to keep adding back new categories? I hope it works, but I kind of like Twitch to be focused on livestreaming gaming.
They're clearly doing something right, because Twitch's user numbers and engagement make Justin.tv look like an unsuccessful side project.
They're doing something right because they focused on one thing - gaming. I'm just worried that too many extra categories could dilute Twitch.
maybe their success is less about focusing on gaming specifically, and just simply focusing on being a video platform for passionate niche activity. The creative process feels like a logical subject matter for the platform.
This came at the perfect time! I was looking for a program to broadcast my sketching sessions
Adobe gets excited about getting more folks into creativity, so we're pretty stoked about platforms like Twitch Creative (disclaimer: Adobe is sponsoring Twitch Creative). We actually launched the Adobe Channel () on Twitch, which live streams 17+ hours of continuous programming every day, spotlighting all kinds of awesome artists in the community. On a personal note: It's crazy soothing to have talented people creating cool stuff in the background while you're doing something. Gets addicting. :)
Big fan of this.
Creative showed up several months ago I think, and I know it was (maybe unofficially) restricted to non-gaming activities that were at least gaming themed (eg. crocheting a Pikachu hat or something). That's definitely changed though, as I've seen everything from glassblowing to cooking to some dude applying a wrap to a pickup. Either way, fascinating stuff, and kind of the main reason I go to Twitch these days.
I like where this is going.
Great! Looking for the next Bob Ross on this platform
